i wish i was in love with you
Yearning in Silence: Avery Pickup's Melodic Confession of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
You're fast asleep but i've just come to bed
You're asleep, and I've just joined you in bed.
I was up late on a call with your friend
I was on a late call with your friend.
As i lay next to your body, i feel your heart too
Lying beside you, I sense your heartbeat.
Beating for me - you say - but mine doesn't beat for you
You claim your heart beats for me, but mine doesn't reciprocate.
If i fell for the stars would you bring back the sun?
If I fell for unreachable things (stars), would you make impossible things happen (bring back the sun)?
If i died in your arms would i savour the touch?
If I perished while in your embrace, would I appreciate the sensation?
Your letter was sweet, like a warm hug in june
Your letter was affectionate, akin to a comforting embrace in a pleasant month.
Oh, but i am a snowstorm
Despite that, I feel like I'm chaotic and cold.
I wish i was in love with you
I desire to be in love with you, but I'm not.
You wrapped your arms 'round my neck, like a scarf
You held me close as a protective gesture, not out of genuine emotion.
But i know it was just so you wouldn't fall off
It seems your actions were more about self-preservation than care for me.
I got more from a stranger than i did from you
From a stranger, I received more emotional fulfillment than from you.
Though you had me convinced i was hopeless, i wish i was in love with you
Despite your efforts to convince me otherwise, I wish I could feel love for you.
If i fell for the stars would you bring back the sun?
If I pursued unattainable things (stars), would you make them possible (bring back the sun)?
If i died in your arms would i savour the touch?
If I faced demise in your embrace, would I find solace in the contact?
Your letter was sweet, like a warm hug in June
Reiteration of the sentiment in line 7, emphasizing the sweetness of the letter.
Oh, but i am a snowstorm
Despite your warmth, I feel internally cold and tumultuous.
I wish i was in love with you
Expressing the desire to love you despite the absence of such feelings.
I'm so sorry, i'm out of time
I'm expressing regret for running out of time.
But that's not what's scaring me
However, that's not the source of my fear.
(That's not what's scaring me)
Reiteration that the fear isn't related to running out of time.
Your eyes and your heart are the same shade of green
Your eyes and your heart seem envious, yet you claim I'm the most beautiful you've seen.
But you swear that i'm the prettiest girl you've ever seen
A realization that the fall from grace I expected wasn't as severe as this.
(When i said i'd fall from grace i didn't mean this hard
Repetition emphasizing the unexpected severity of the fall from grace.
When i said i'd fall from grace i didn't mean this hard
-When i said i'd fall from grace i didn't mean this hard
-When i said i'd fall from grace i didn't mean this hard)
-Darling, the quiver in your hand won't set me free
Your uncertainty and hesitation won't release me.
The walls are stone, they won't fall by the hand of a heartbeat
The obstacles are formidable and won't yield to mere emotion.
But your bed is so soft and your hair smells of violet shampoo
Your comfort and fragrance are inviting, yet I remain detached.
Oh, it's quiet here
Expressing the tranquility of the moment.
I wish i was in love with you
Reiterating the desire to love despite the absence of such feelings.
